Anytime you have unprotected sex, you run
the risk of getting pregnant. The fact
that you have not had a period yet could
be because of stopping the pill, or you
could in fact be pregnant.
As for the testing, some women may never
get a positive result from a home
pregnancy test. You could very well be
pregnant, but you may not be producing
enough of the pregnancy hormone (hcg) for
the home pregnancy test to come out
positive. Your best option would be to
request a blood test to confirm/deny
pregnancy from your doctor. A blood test
is more reliable when it comes to picking
up the hormones.

It can take a while for birth control pill
to get out of your system. I have been
off the pill for 18 months and still have
not had a normal period. Its called post
pill amanorrhea. Everyone is different
though.
